naeazrnn BUFFER.

Application filed June 11,

- relative movement between the sections and which port when opened being designed to permit of the discharge of a quantity of the contents of themagazine sectionzon to the nail or other surface to be polished, thebuifer section being subsequently employed for spreading the contents and polishing or butt ingth'e nail or other surface.

More specifically the invention comprehends telescopically associated butter and magazine sections, said sections each having a discharge port adapted to be disposed respectively in and out of registry upon relative movement between the sections.

The invention furthermore comprehends .30 in a magazine bHfiBl and applicatorymeans for arranging andholding the butter material or cloth over the buffer section in such a manner as to present a polishing edge in addition to the polishing surface.

The invention furthermore comprehends in a butter section for a magazine buffer and applicator, means for connecting the buffer i'naterial and pad to the butter section body.

Other objects reside in the comparative simplicity of construction, the economy with which the same may be produced and the general eiliciency derived therefrom.

Vith the above recited and other objects inview, reference is had to the following de scription and accompanying drawings in which there areexhi'bited certain examples or embodiments ot-the invention, while the ed claims define the actual scope of the invention. I

Referring to the drawings bycharacters of reference and particularly to the form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the magazine buffer and applicator includes amagazine section in the form of a cylindrical body 16 having a closed bottom 17 and an 01 en top. The'cylinder or annular wall of the body is provided with an outpressed annular bead or shoulder 18 spaced axially from the upper open end. A discharge port or opening 19 is formed in the cylindrical body 16 at a point slightly spacedabove the head 18. The buffer sect-ion includes a cylindrical wall 20 having a concavo-coni ex upper end 21, the wall 20 being telescopically arranged over the upper port-ion ot the cylindrical body 16 and extending between the bead and the u per open end thereof. The cylindrical walF 20 of the buffer section is provided with a discharge port or opening which upon relative turning movement of the sections. is adapted to be disposed respectively in and outoi registry with the discharge port or opening 19 of the section 16. In order to limit the relative rotary move- .ient between the sections and to provide a stopping point at which the ports or openings 19 and 22 are disposed in registry, the cylindrical wall 16 is provided with an outstruck teat 23. while the cylindrical wall 20 is formed with an outstruck grooved portion or channel 2 1. The teat and groove also serve to retain the sections in associated rela- The upper c. .cavoconvcx endwall 21. of the buffer section is covered with a butler material 25, such as Chamois, between which and the wall 21 asuitahlepadding 26'is arranged. The marginal edge of the covering 25'is y on 2 Y I 1,es5,as3

turned downm rdly over the cylindrical wall and is held in place between an annulus or ring 27 and an outstruck marginal head 28 i'ormed on the cylindrical wall 20. The annulus or ring 27 is of arcuate or c-oncavo-convex configuration in cross-section to etlectually grip and maintain the marginal edge of the covering 25. vBetween the retaining ring andthe upper-surface of the covering an annular polishing or operating surface 29 is provided, which permits ot the use of the butter on surfaces or places which would otherwise be inaccessible by the upper surface alone.

' In use, the powdered polishing substance 30 within the magazine section, is dispensed by turning the butter section with respect to the magazine section until the ports 19 and The desired quantity closure memberineluding a continuous substantially elliptical or oval wall 33 and a top wall 4;, the former adapted to frictionall tit within the wall 31 and the latter wall 34, combining therewith and with the oottom wall 32, to define a compartment torreceiviug the polishing substance. The upper wall. is provided with a central. depression 35 having a cross element-86 defining a handle itor facilitating the removal otthe clos-ruremeniber to re-fill the magazine section. The wall 33 of the closure member and the wall 31 of the body of the magazine section are provided with reg stering ports or openings and 38 constituting means discharging or dispensing the contents of the magazine section. The wall 81' is cut away or rahbeted at 39 on its outer surface ad acent the upper end. to telescopically rcceive t-hereover, the continuous marginal wall 40 ot a butler SQCtlOIl. Intermediate its upper and lower open ends, the wall 40 is provided with a horizontal wall all having spaced slots 42. I I

A butiing means including a pair of superimposed plates 43 and 44, a butter material I45 and a pad 46, is provided. The marginal portion l? of the butter material45 is turned under the plate 44 and is suitably secured in place bya drawstring 48. The buiiing means is of a size and configuration to snugly fit within the wall 40 above the partition wall 41. The plate 44 is provided with downward ly projecting lugs 49Vspaced apart an appropri ate distance to project through the slots 42 ot the partition wall 41. The lugs 49 areeach laterally slotted at 50. from the side edges to receive the opposite ends 51 of the lock bar 52, which is centrally pivoted at 53 for turn ing movement on the under side of the partition wall 41. This detachably connects the bufiing means with the buffer section and permits renewal or replacement of the butter ma terial 45. The wall 40 of the buffer section is provided with an aperture or port 54; at one of its ends and is designed upon removal and replacement of the butter section on the magazine section, to respectively bring the port into and out of registry with the 'alined openings or ports 37 and 38 of the butter section as illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10, so that the contents of the magazine section may be dispensed.

VVhatis claimed is:

1. A magazine butter and applicator, including a buffer section and a magazine section having a discharge port adapted to be respectively closed and opened by relative movement between the sections, the said bulier section including a continuous wall and a closed end, the continuous wall having a marginal bead spaced from the'end wall, a buffer material arranged over the end wall and having a marginal portion extending downwardly over the continuous wall and over the bead, and a clamping ring engaging over the bead and clamping the marginal portion of the butter material in place. i

2. A magazine butter and applicator, in-

cluding a magazine section having a cylindrical wall and a closed bottom wall, a but"- er section including a cylindrical wall telescopically fitting over the upper open end of the cylindrical wall of the magazine section, the buifer section having a closed top wall, means for retaining the sect-ions in associated relation and for permitting of limited relative rotatory movement, discharge ports provided respectively in the cylindrical walls of said sections adapted to be disposed'in and out of registry upon relative movement, and a butter material arranged over the upper end of the butter section.

3. In a magazine butter and applicator, a magazine section including a pair of tele scopically associatedmembers defining a compartment containing apolishing substance, said sectionhaving alined openings for dispensing the contents of the magazine section,

and a bull er section telescopically fitting over the magazinesection, having a dispensing opening adapted to be brought respectively into and out of registry with the alined dis- "pensing openings of themagazine section by disposing said sections in difierent relatively associated relations. l
